I've just learned that Rodney Orr, who runs an Alabama web site and message board called Tider Insider suffered a double tragedy yesterday. First he lost his son in-law to a motorcycle wreck, then his wife, who had been notified of the accident, died in a separate accident on her way from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa.

Our condolences, along with those of Gator Nation, go out to Mr. Orr, his family, and the family of his son in law.

Recognition

I can’t say enough about my two favorite blogs Get the Picture and Saurian Sagacity. There are not two more consistently thought-provoking and analytical college football blogs on the internet.
-Orange and Blue Hue

Rare is the SMQ shout out for the sole purpose of shouting out, but even rarer is the high substantive quality of disinterested naysaying in progress at Saurian Sagacity, where poster Mergz is steadily blowing up notions of "National Championships" new and old...-Sunday Morning Quarterback

In the old days, long before Urban Meyer roamed the sidelines at The Swamp, even before Steve Spurrier was slinging touchdowns and kicking game-winning field goals, some sports writers gave the University of Florida's football team a long-forgotten nickname: theSaurians. Today, two Florida alums pay tribute to those scribes of old as we enjoy the present and look toward the future.
